During his travels in Russia, Cheiro also met the powerful
tantrik Rasputin, who had sinister influence over the Tsarin. He told Cheiro
in a commanding tone, “I have no desire to know about my future, but
I wish to test your capacity to forecast. Tell me, my future.”

Cheiro
replied without hesitating for a moment, “I can see that your end
will come due to palace intrigues. You will be first poisoned, then a
man shall stab you. Another person will shoot you. I can see your corpse
floating on icy water.”
